(1/1)

Gary Mac:
I'm gonna be starting a tri-lam ELB shortly - (Osage Belly - Greenheart Core - Hickory Back).

Building from boards. I want the finished weight arounbf 70lb @ 28. Can anyone help me with
full dimensions of what I just be band-sawing to prior to shaping and tillering please?

RyanY:
1 1/4" from mid limb to mid limb tapering to 3/8" nocks should do the trick. Especially if its glued into reflex.

Del the cat:
As tall as you plus maybe 1 inch or two max.

(Don't go and make a 66" bow unles you are 5'6" tall)

Badger:
If you go to long with a bendy handle bow as in elb they tend to get too narrow unless you are going heavy. I would recomend about 68" long with a slightly elyptical tiller and a little flex in the handle area. Steve
